Job Description
This role also contributes to accessibility and design system quality by considering flows, states, patterns, reusable components, and WCAG 2.2 guidance.
What Makes Someone Successful
Success in this role requires strong product design judgment, curiosity, and a practical approach to iteration. Strong candidates can move through ambiguity, ask useful questions, challenge assumptions constructively, and connect design decisions to user needs, product goals, and business outcomes.
This role is a good fit for someone who can balance discovery and delivery, use AI responsibly to expand exploration, and build trust with product teams through clear communication and thoughtful design work.
Experience and Skills
3–5+ years of experience in product design, UX design, or a closely related role
Strong proficiency with Figma and modern product design workflows
Experience working with cross-functional product teams
Strong interaction design, visual design, and prototyping skills
Ability to connect design decisions to user needs, product goals, and business outcomes
Experience using research, data, feedback, or experimentation to improve design direction
Comfort experimenting with AI tools and emerging technologies to improve speed, exploration, and quality
Working knowledge of accessibility best practices, including WCAG 2.2
Portfolio
Please include a portfolio that shows how design work moves from problem to outcome. Strong case studies often include:
End-to-end feature, product, or experience design work
Problem framing, context, users, and constraints
Discovery work, research, assumptions, validation, or learning loops
Design tradeoffs, rationale, and iteration
Use of Figma to communicate flows, states, interaction details, and system-level thinking
Accessibility and inclusive design considerations
Bonus points for examples that show AI-supported exploration, influence on product direction, or a measurable connection between design work and outcomes.
Benefits and Growth
This role offers the opportunity to work on meaningful education products, partner with experienced cross-functional teams, and shape experiences used by learners and instructors.
